Complex land ownership and disordered self-grown residential areas have formed an obstacle for the development of rural residences in Taiwan. Therefore, a series of improvement programs have been executed by the government that focus on land readjustment, planned renewal of houses and the improvement of public facilities in rural residential areas. But the intended effects have not been reached because of lacks in the legislation and different expectations between residents and government. In this paper, we inspect the results of the improvement programs to understand what problems are still unsolved. Futhermore, we try to consider how to improve rural residences by analyzing the demands of the residents.
